So. PO in this context is basically saying, tell me more? How is ‘controlled absurdity’ involved? Unless that’s a description of all user forums …

PO: Edward De Bono. It's a method of creative thinking where no ideas are rejected as "wrong" during the process of creating solutions. Wrong ideas can lead to great solutions if contemplated further. PO is the use of the controlled absurd, as a pathway between problem and solution. One can use anything absurd. For example a random word.

Example:
How to design a windproof fence?

PO: Goldfish

What the hell have goldfish got to do with fences? his is absurd.

Ideas generated - fences with wooder scales. Good for letting wind through if hinged

Se also De Bono's discussion wheelbarrow which can turn corners better. With skilled practice this is a very powerful tool.

1] Ditch the Freeze button and add a Freeze all button to the to the top of the mixer above the channel freeze buttons. Call it freeze all. The button is a mess. Why the heading "Set tracks to frozen uneditable" headline in grey? The button already said freeze. Why have the list of all the tracks? This can all be done in the mixer - like any mixer on a daw. Get rid of redundant clutter like this button, make things intuitive. It's not a problem to open the mixer.

2] Add a "return to default value" function to any slider that is control clicked - this is industry standard

3] BIAB across many windows machines, is the only program I have that hangs woindows shut down, when I press Shutdown. Cubase does not do this, Office does not do this, Hundreds of other programs do not do this.

PO:

A bar should be a creative resource for users to determine the function of a chord(s) and it's voicing resources, make notes, generate ideas, analyse the melody, offer practice methods, analyse using Roman Numerals; this does not have to make the chord view cluttered. It's not just something to show a chord symbol.

PO: What would be the ideal informational qualities of a bar?

PO: Umbrellas, Stock market, beans.
